Default Speedo fix

First let me say that this took a massive amount of ingenuity and a feat of engineering. I recently put on a 25mm bearing street glide 18 front wheel. In doing so my speedo would not work. I cut out a slit in the disc , no speedo i changed spacers on and on then the obvious hit me. I took a front fender washer ( the one that's in between the 2 bolts on each lower leg ) cut in in half and bent it up.at a 90° angle so it would catch my speedo. The bend has to be slight to clear the speedo as it makes its rotation but so far so good!
